View all Pegi Smith's posts.About the author: Pegi Smith (Peggy Smith) paints in acrylics on canvas from her home studio in the mountains near Ashland, Oregon. It’s not often that one finds an artist who paints from her dreams, yet Pegi’s visionary style distinguishes her paintings from all others, immersing the viewer in her personal—and very compelling— dream world. From these dreams, Pegi paints abstracts from equine art to nudes to nature, using rich colors to evoke emotion and to uplift the viewer. She is a self-taught artist, and therefore uses her paints in an innovative manner exclusive to herself. Her use of color, which changes with each collection, also makes her work perfect for nearly any interior decor scheme. Pegi’s thoughtful approach to her art and unique nuance with her brush have gained her a devoted following, with collectors vying for new paintings as they are unveiled.

Medford Sneak Preview Poll

In a recent Medford Sneak Preview poll, their readers named me their Favorite Local Artist in the February 2017 issue! I am so grateful to receive this kind of recognition from local art enthusiasts. I’m in good company too—congratulations to Cheryl D. Garcia and Julie Veronneau, who also made the list.
